Send a note to God

Medl Mobile is a new company based in Los Angeles that is "developing apps for Apple to sell on its Web site."

Medl Mobile solicited ideas. Some 20,000 folks sent in their best thoughts. Out of those they chose what they consider to be the most brilliant one. It was dreamed up by a 17-year old by name of Allen Wright and it's called "A Note to God."

As reported by McClatchy's Washington Bureau, this app "lets iPhone users send prayers into cyberspace and allows them to read the prayers of others. The messages are stored in a database, and users remain anonymous."

A side benefit is that when you die and God/Jesus/Allah or whomever, meets you at the Pearly Gates, he/she/it will know who you are - that person who sent all those notes from Kookamunga!


Isn't this fascinating? A medieval application for a 21st Century innovation!

But there are a couple of problems. Which god do you pray to: Yahweh, Allah, Vishnu, Buddha, Jesus, Mary, Zeus, Dionysis? And, is there any guarantee offered that you will actually connect to the god of your imagination? What if your god is sitting on a planet too far to be reached by this shot into cyberspace?


My first reaction to all this was that it will never work. Who's gonna spend money to participate in such nonsense?

Then, I remembered. Millions of people voted for George W. Bush, and millions more think Sarah Palin is the reincarnation of the Virgin Mary.

Medl Mobile's gonna make millions!
